TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1935 CALM RESTORED Now that rush weep is over, many students can get down to the business of going to school. Father's car can be sent home, the high pressure boys and the handshakers can take a needed rest, while the pledges, who have been rushed from house to house for three hectic days, can begin to get used to the feel of pavement under their feet. But of course there are many who were not affected by rush week. Some students did not care to be rushed, others could not afford to belong to a fraternity; still others failed to "make" the house of their choice. This latter group should not feel downhearted, for a fraternity is not all of college life. Because you are not a fraternity man does not mean that you are ostracized from society. You can still go ahead with a profitable and enjoyable college career. If you failed to "make" a fraternity and feel that your prestige has consequently suffered, direct the time and energy you had planned to give to the fraternity to some other field, and see how quickly that lost prestige returns. The best cartoon of the week is the one showing Ethiopians running pell mell in all directions at the warning cry of one of their number shouting, "Run for your lives, boys, Civilization is coming" —Charley Townsley in the Great Bend Tribune. HILL Y.M.C.A. New students on the campus who are having trouble getting acquainted or who feel out of place in their new surroundings should visit the "Y." The Y. M. C. A. is a student controlled and operated movement. The organization takes special interest in all student problems both general and personal. Later in the year it will sponsor a weekly午未 luncheon forum in which topics of special interest to students will be discussed. Get acquainted with "Y" activities. The "Y" in the has provided jobs for many students. Students who need work should apply to the secretary at the "Y" office in room 10 in Memorial Union. WAR RUMBLINGS War fears grow. —French sends troops to protect its Addis Ababa interests. —Hailes Selassie's warriors mobilize to fight Italy. —Italy threatens to withdraw from League of Nations. Such are the stories pouring in from Europe today. The situation is acute, yet definite efforts are being made to avert war. With the exception of Germany, Hungary, Albania, Austria and Spain, the other countries of Europe have taken a definite stand against Italy. England has made repeated efforts to bring about a compromise between Italy and Ethiopia. Recently Russia joined with the other nations of Europe by a proclamation that they were determined to enforce the League of Nation rules against aggression. Outside of Europe the other world powers, Japan and the United States, have declared a position of neutrality. Yet Mussolini continues with his war plans. Where he formerly tried to hide his true motive by stating that he would punish Ethiopians for not stopping slave trade within their country as they had agreed, he now openly calls his venture a "colonial战". Italy needs the natural resources of Ethiopia, and Mussolini seems to be ready to defy the world to get them. Only recently the Italian cabinet announced there could be no compromise with Ethiopia and threatened to withdraw from the League of Nations. Perhaps the most dangerous phase of the whole affair is the strong hold that Mussolini has upon the Italian people. Through propaganda he has placed himself as a A word Italy and Italy would march to battle. Yes, war fears grow. Whether or not war materializes rests with Mussolini. SOPHISTICATED LOAFING What is this complex that makes college students gather in common Joafing places? Is it that they can idle away their time better if they have the help of a dozen of their fellows? It must be a contagious mahady, this desire to leaf in an atmosphere of clinking slot-machines, in tune with the chips beet, the smell of frying hamburgers, and all through a blue hue of cigarette smoke. This peculiar quality it man's makeup, this desire for congenial laziness, however, is not new at all. Looking back into history we find traces of these "hangouts" all through the records left by man. In England in 1700, about the time of Boswell and Oliver Goldsmith, these establishments were called Coffee Houses. When these places of business came to America they brought the name with them, and as late as 1825 they were still called Coffee Houses. Regardless of the names given these loapling places, the fact remains that a lot of valuable time is needlessly wasted in them. It is true that a certain amount of this vagrancy is good, but by some students (both men and women) it is overdue to such an extent that their books are neglected. Of course a person cannot study all the time it "makes Jack a dull boy." But the chances are that the "Jacks" who are dull are the ones who do not know the value of their time. Many friendships are formed and started in these "hangouts." It is quite natural for a boy and girl to want to drink a coke together, so they go to the soda fountain. The average student gains something from a quiet chat with a fellow student which he cannot get from his books, even though the subject may not be of a serious nature. Although there is a decided need for a congenial loafing place there is no excuse for the student who keeps almost as long and regular hours as the owner himself. The average student of the University is his own boss (with the exception of freshmen) and therefore should learn to spend his time as well as his money to his best advantage. Time spent in excess loafing in these college "hangouts" is not profitable to the loafer, nor does it foster thrift or learning. "You know," said Stephen Leacock, humorist, in an address before Purdue students, "there are two kinds of stamps on human faces, the college stamp and the criminal stamp—and I can tell them apart!" And then the Santa Monica "SMaJOac" spies everything by adding, "That last item should be gratifying to the inmates of San Quentin."—Los Angeles Junior Collegian.

Contributions on any subject are invited. I am a very green freshman. The town from which I come is slightly more than 500 population. I have always lived for the day when I could come to the University. I have been in R.O.T.C. since my high school and took to take w.R.O.T.C. My father holds a commission in the reserve officers corps and I wanted one so, too, in case of emergency, I would be able to help my country Editor Daily Kansan: Now in this morning's Kansas, an A. C. A. person writes that I should shun the R.O.T.C. His argument sounds pretty good. I certainly don't want war. I would vote or even fight to keep from going into an aggressive war, but this business of taking R.O.T.C. to make one militaristic I don't quite understand. I am puzzled now. Does it mean that if I take R.O.T.C. I am going to be claused as a Hirder or one of his Brownhorses on the camelback? If you can help me I would be greatly obliged I think I'll talk it over with the men's student adviser. I don't know whether you want this for printing or not, but I have talked to several other new fellows and they expressed the same viewpoint as mine. We are in a quandary. Puzzled freshman.

Call Bell and Chair Only Relics Of Hotel Destroyed During Raid The Jones Raid in 1858 resulted from the growing tenness between Free-Stater and pro-slavery advocates. Samuel J. Jones, postmaster of Westport, Mo., was appointed sheriff of Douglas Mo., who led the 1,000 Missourians who participated in the Lawrence election of 1853. Col. Shaler W. Eldridge had leased the Free State Hotel, which was the headquarters of the defense com- munity, and Sheriff Jones ordered the destruction of the free state building. Eldridge until 5 o'clock to remove his belongings. The building was set on fire and burned. Members of Jones' posse were not discriminating and entered many places other than those held by the governor. Robinson's bones at the hill" was burned in the same event. Irene Peabody, Director. But the only relics left after the first burning of the famous Free State hotel was a call bell and a chair. W.S.G.A. BOOK EXCHANGE: The W.S.G.A.

The loses sustained by the people of Lawrence and surrounding country were quite heavy. It was estimated that the value of the property destroyed and stolen amounted to nearly $200,000. Life in the figure included the death of two Freeport natives Brown and Stewart, and the death of one Law and Order man. The prized call bell in the Lawrence Room was saved by Mr. Charles Edwards. He used it in his school, and many students went to school by its tapping. Mr. Edwards gave the bell to the teacher, and he taught, teaching, and Mrs. Learnard donated to the library. Mrs. Learnard owned the rescued chair, also in and in 1533, some of the citizens of Lawrence raised $220.50, purchased it from her and to the Douglas County Association. Mrs. Maude G. Phillips wrote a poem or the 75th anniversary of the founding of Lawrence as "Reminiscences of Mrs. O. E. Learned."
